And now a blaze media podcast.
Border security,
depressed air travel,
logistical challenges to distribution,
a sharp drop in overall global,
trade, supply issues of complicated production, labor shortages, scarcity of gasoline availability,
disruptions to the flow of chemicals from Southeast Asia, all have made it difficult for
cocaine trafficos who normally hide their activities behind the cover of legal movement of goods.
The opium harvest in Afghanistan have been hamstrung. Cocaine output in Columbia have been
knock back. Synthetic drug
production in Mexico have been
capped. So
it's about getting the right
product to the right place
at the right time. And
measures intended to curb the
coronavirus pandemic
are also creating obstacles
to that goal
for the above
traffickers.
The only good side
there is a good side coming
out of this for some.
It is going to force
the disadvantaged
and I use quotation marks.
Those of you watching live
today are seeing that.
Disadvantaged people
into the drug train.
So
we have that to look forward to.
Yay!
Welcome to chewing the fat.
It's Fat Pile Friday, by the way.
I hope that Earl Thomas, the NFL player in Austin, is okay.
I want him to be okay.
We talked about it yesterday, and we talked about Pat this morning,
that the Friday show, 5-8, 2020, for those of you listening live,
that Earl Thomas had the problems, you know,
they got into a fight with the wife, and then the wife tracked him down
because, you know, he cannot leave the house without, you know,
of Snapchating, what's happening in his life.
And we also, the one thing that I'm looking forward to about the Earl Thomas case is that there is video.
One of the girlfriends that she brought with her had a video and was recording what was going on.
So whenever they released that, we'll get to see that again.
Because they talked about her holding the gun, which she thought was empty because she pulled the magazine out,
but there was still a bullet in the chamber, like a foot from his head.
But he's lucky to be alive.
But today or actually, you know, earlier last night,
someone got hit in Austin.
Earl Thomas, this happened in Austin.
Austin, Bergstrom International Airport.
Southwest airline plane is coming into land.
Holy crap, there's a person on the runway.
And they try to swerve out of the way.
Ooh. Now, you know how quick and easy it is. You can just maneuver those airplanes around.
The runways are just like giant parking lots. So you just swerve out of the way and you mess them and you move on.
Oh, no. No, that didn't happen at all. Now, the person didn't have an ID. We haven't decided we don't know who he is yet or she. I'm not sure.
It just talked about the person on the runway as it landed and was hit by the airline.
pilot did try to swerve out of the way, but the person was not dressed as an airport
worker, did not have any identification. So I hope and pray that it's not Earl Thomas, although I don't
know why I would do that, because there's still someone actually got hit and killed by an airplane
on the runway. But just like Earl Thomas says, stuff like this happens, we try to live the best
flies we possibly can.
Sometimes it doesn't go
as planned.
I mean, you look at the picture, the airline
did try to swerve out of the way and
ding, I mean,
the engine
underneath the wing has
got a giant dent
where
this person got
hit by the airplane. What are you
doing out of the landing strip, man?
What are you doing? And if you're a
pilot on cruise control landing in Austin.
He just took off from Dallas.
You go to Dallas to Houston.
It's almost like you're up in the air and then you're back down again.
It's pretty fast.
It certainly feels that way if you're on the flight.
There was about 50-some people on the flight, I believe.
I'm pissed if I'm one of the passengers because now I'm stuck in Austin.
It's supposed to be just a quick hop down to Austin, throw some people on, let's go.
I'm sorry
I mean
Pist your air has never hit anyone on the runway
But we've swerved out of the way a few times
But what do you think of when you're coming down to the runway
And you're just landing this thing
We're landing in Austin.
Please prepare for landing
Holy crap
Holy crap
There's a guy on the runway hurry
I mean if you're in the plane
You're all of a sudden swerving
The other wing is up in the air
You're riding left and right
And you're like what the heck is going on
and then you hear a, we just hit a deer or something?
No, human.
Wow.
I mean, that stinks.
That stinks.
Now, and then they shut down the runway, of course.
I mean, I get it.
It's like highways.
You know, they shut it down.
I'm thinking, okay, we hit the guy.
We take a look around.
We don't know why it was there.
We drag him out of the way.
Pull up the plane.
Pull up out of the way.
Take the plane into the shop.
and let the air let open up the runway let's go but no they had it close they still only had one runway so
austin was you know been backed up forever just really sad really i know it's really sad i'm i'm not
making fun of someone getting killed by getting hit by an airplane on a runway
or they shouldn't have been don't know why person was out there i mean
Do you really want to go out by getting hit by a plane?
Are you out for a walk at an airport?
Are they letting people just on?
I mean, we're supposed to get out and get a stroll.
I mean, this is social distancing at its best.
Right?
I mean, there's no, hey, look, there's a big fenced-in area where nobody is, nobody is at.
I'll just go walking out there.
Oh, it's nice.
It's all lit up.
Looks good out here.
I can just hang out and I can do a little, little walk.
walking around. Wow, what is that?
All of a sudden, there's lights in the sky coming down at me.
I probably should try to...
Oh, sorry.
Okay, I was going to move on, but I can't.
All right, so how bad?
Like, we get upset, but we talk about, you know,
people going crazy on airplanes and they have to, you can't get off,
and they have to bring in the authorities,
or someone, you know, some kid is running crazy, or you've got,
COVID-19, somebody's coughing, whatever the case is, you're stuck on this plane, right?
And you can't get to where you got to go, gets delayed.
This is, I mean, on top of the actual death of a human getting hit by a plane, which is sad enough,
now you've got 53 people plus the workers stuck on this plane out on the runway.
They're going to have to wait for the investigation.
You're not pulling in.
We're just going to go ahead and pull this thing into the shop.
and get everybody off, and then we're going to take a look, try to figure out what happened.
I mean, they've got to figure out what happened.
They've got to ask, I mean, every passenger, does you see anything?
Nope, I was just looking out the window.
The next thing I knew, I was leaning far to the right.
I heard a thump, and something flew by the window.
That's all I saw.
Can I go now?
And who's getting the luggage?
You know, I mean, you're just like, can you send someone to the, but I'm just going to go.
And, no, you can't leave yet.
I mean, those people are, you're stuck there.
You're stuck in Austin for a while.
There's no question.
I would be surprised at any of them.
Some of them may have left by now.
Because this was, you know, last night, 8 o'clock, 8.15, something like that last night.
So you may have left if you didn't see anything, right?
If you saw something, like if you said, oh, yeah, I saw the guy with a sign when we were coming down.
And I wondered, geez, is he going to get hit?
Boom.
And he did.
and I thought, wow, you don't see that every day.
All right, I'll let it go.
All right, I'm sorry.
Rest in peace to the person and I got a head by the plane.
I was sorry, I hope everything was okay.
Obviously, it wasn't.
We're struggling with something,
and you shouldn't have been out there,
and you should just get help.
If you're thinking to yourself,
this is maybe a little PSA from chewing the fat.
If you're thinking to yourself today,
man, life sucks, I'm going to go walk in front of a plane as it's landing at a runway.
Don't.
This has been a PSA from chewing the fat.
All right.
So I'll move on because I want to talk a little bit about what we're watching and how we're watching it.
I was reading this.
It's kind of a study, a recap of what's been going on cable-wise from, you know, Comcast and Xfinity viewing data since the, you know, since the COVID-19 locking.
So the average household is putting in an extra work days worth of viewing each week, each week watching eight more hours, eight plus more hours per week than they were in early March.
Okay.
So we're watching about 66 hours of television a week.
That seems low, but maybe that's just my household.
because if you have me
the average before was 57
so I mean that's
that still sounds like an awful lot really
so customers
are feeling
according to this
all the days are blurring together
whatever
normally we see noticeable
distinctions between weekend
and weekday viewing behaviors
customers typically watch
far more programming on the weekend
It's also when they tend to take a break from their DVRs and watch more on-demand content,
including renting and purchasing movies.
Since the start of the COVID-19, distinctions have become blurred.
The viewing levels and trends are more like weekend viewing.
Monday has become a more popular day to watch television than Saturdays.
40% of the viewing during late night hours.
So people are staying up longer.
They don't have to get up, right?
They're sleeping in longer, so the morning viewing is down.
So they're watching more at night.
They're sleeping in longer.
So the hours between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. are down a little bit.
64% increase in consumption of news programming.
We've seen the numbers really increase on the network news and the cable news programs
really go out.
I mean, you're talking about a 64% increase in news programming of consuming that?
I mean, that's huge.
Those are big numbers.
I mean, even my main man and Luster Holt has seen some advantages from that.
We have, there was something else in here.
The decrease in DVR usage is usually means that there's a huge uptick in video on demand, right?
So you don't watch the DVR, you watch the video on demand.
well uh what's going what's happening is people are using the what to watch and surprise me commands
on their cable boxes these are for people who have the cable boxes right but all the all the i'm
sure all the all the streaming places are up as well with the uh what's trending what's new
hey you watch this how about watch this um i'm sure those are all
all up because we've watched everything, right?
We've watched all the stuff that we had saved.
We've watched stuff that we said, oh, you know, we were halfway through a season and
we stopped because it was kind of boring and you're tired of it, but you, now you've
gone back and finished it.
So you're looking for new stuff.
I mean, that's why the Netflix, the movies, the extraction is so big, the dangerous lies.
I watched that.
That really isn't that good.
It was just like a TV movie, you know, made for TV movie.
That's what it felt like.
But it's like one of the top movies on Netflix because it's new.
It's new.
We're looking for something.
We want new content.
It's just incredible.
So I, you know, people.
I'm going to interrupt with that too.
You also have the new TV show that was not new.
Season 4 of Working Moms, eight episodes, Netflix original.
Boom.
I was done in eight hours.
working moms why haven't i seen this is it a Netflix original yes it's a Netflix original and it's
fantastic okay a few say so i'm going to have to now hold on just pause one second i was working
mom's working mom what are they working on it's a big boy show they're working on is you know
this is the canadian sitcom yes it's Canadian
sitcom, yes.
So it's not a Netflix original, by the way.
They sell it as a Netflix original.
It's just a show on Netflix.
Okay, anyway, tell me about the show.
Sell it to me.
Make me want to watch it.
It follows four moms, and it's a comedy sitcom kind of thing.
And then they're trying to just to live their life with working and babies.
And some of them are not really good moms and some of them are really good moms.
And the struggle that lies with...
No, no, the struggle...
That's when the humor and comedy ensues.
My God.
You are pathetic.
Seriously.
That is not a big guy show.
No, no.
That is a big guy show for those of us that just want to be home with our families
and watch comedy and laugh after a hard day.
Okay.
So we'll get on to, you know, other things than trying to get me involved in watching a stupid show that I'm going to get involved watching anyway.
Let's talk about Julie Norris.
All right.
You haven't met her yet, but she didn't pay her rent in April or May.
And guess what?
She doesn't plan on paying her rent in June or July.
Okay.
So, Julie, how's it going?
Look, we have so many people living paycheck to paycheck.
I'm an unemployed restaurant worker from Midtown Manhattan.
Workers are all suffering right now.
So I am part of a growing group called cancel the rents.
And we're putting together a nationwide movement demanding immediate changes for housing payments during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We demand, this is when cancel the rents are putting their fist down or foot down or slamming something down.
They demand cancellation of rent.
They demand housing the homeless and to demand we fund the people's needs, not Wall Street bailouts.
Okay.
With the U.S. Department of Labor reporting tens of millions of Americans now unemployed,
I mean, they're reporting, what, 33.5 million?
And you know it's more than that, right?
I mean, those are the people that are actually looking for a job and get unemployment payments.
Then you have, I mean, there's how many more millions are not even looking because they feel like they can't.
There's no job for them to get now.
So they're just not working.
I mean, it's scary.
However, Norris and her group want the government to cover the cost.
of their rent payments.
Okay.
So the government is going to cover the cost?
So according to Metropolitan State University of Denver,
65% of people paid their rent on time in April.
Wow.
So, I mean, that's 35% didn't.
Okay.
Now that's, you know, look, I don't know, and I don't know how many of that 35% that didn't pay their rent on time were people who just said, screw you, I'm not paying you.
Or they said, hey, can we work out a deal?
I can't pay you.
I can pay you another time?
Can I pay less rent?
Can I, you know, I'm only, I don't have money coming in.
I can pay you this much.
I'm here.
I don't think that they can get kicked out, right?
But they can't kick you out.
No, no.
No.
And then, you know, for example, now you have the guy from New York saying no evictions until August, I think he said.
And I really, I'm really curious.
If I'm there, if I'm in New York and they say no evictions to August, that means no payment until August.
Even if I can pay, I'm not going to pay.
Yeah.
Right.
I were on the same page that even if I can't pay, I'm not going to.
pay because you're telling me I can't get kicked out absolutely now think of the the consequences
of doing this make sure you're not a a goofball and spend all this money on something else I would
never do that my gosh Chris you know me save save save but wow that's my motto save save save
I wow you just man I'm a I'm a I'm I'm I'm I'm
embarrassed that you think anything else but that.
All right, everybody, I'll stop right there then.
I will not give you no more advice on if you're going to decide not to pay you rent in New York
because you're not going to get evicted.
I'm just going to leave it right there.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
That's right.
So anyway, the ramifications.
That's all you got?
Wow.
I think I was Julie Norris.
I think I'm with cancel the rents
cancel the rents
well who what's the one guy
wasn't he in New York too
the guy that said that the rent's too damn high
or whatever
that ran for president forever
he runs for president every freaking year
what's his stupid name
he's got to be
I'm underfeas part of cancel the rents
because his deal was
I mean his deal was the rents too damn high right
he wasn't talking about canceling the rents
he was saying you're charging me too much
I mean maybe he's
turned into it, maybe it's changed.
Maybe nothing happened with the rents too damn high.
You know what?
Cancel the rents.
Cancel the rents.
Let's go to the break room.
I need a Coca-Cola Zero.
desperately, desperately after the conversation I just got done having off the air,
which you will not be privy to, okay?

Now, let's talk about the other day we talked about Elon Musk and his new baby and
with his partner, his, of whatever hers.
silly name is. Grimes.
Yeah, yeah, like I said, it's silly part.
So he was on some podcast that a few people listened to.
You mean the Joe Rogan experience podcast?
Is that it?
Yes.
People actually listen to that?
Yes.
And by the way, if we remember, if we want to do a flashback, the last time Elon Musk was
with Joe Rogan was when he smoked that pot and got him big, big,
trouble and almost lost his company.
Yeah, well, that was also around the time where he had tweeted some stuff about, like I said,
this was the time when he was with Joe Rogan and decided to participate, smoking the pot,
and he almost lost the company.
But amazingly, I mean, nobody listens to that podcast.
No, no, no, millions of people do not download that podcast daily.
So it's just, you know, nobody listens.
So nobody even knew he was on.
So he didn't get in any trouble at all.
So he's on again.
I mean,
do I have to say it out loud?
I got it, okay?
The Joe Rogan experience.
I got it.
By the way,
who would have thought the guy from Fear Factor?
The guy from Fear Factor
will be the leading guy on podcast in 2020.
Oh, no, absolutely.
You know, the guy created Fear Factor,
created MMA.
Now he's doing this podcast.
Are you looking for a job with him or something?
I mean, I got it.
I will tell you this right now, Jeff Fisher.
If Joe Rogan comes knocking at that door, I am in.
How do you say the name?
Well, is it a placeholder?
First of all, my partner is the one that actually mostly came up with the name.
Congratulations to her.
Yeah, yeah, she's great a name.
So, I mean, it's just actually.
the letter X.
And then the AE
is pronounced ash.
Yeah.
Shows laughing.
And then A12 is my
pause this for a second.
All right. So he's laughing at most
at Elon's kid's name. That pisses me out.
And in the end of this, I'm going to point out that nobody caught this.
Now I like that. I'm going to have to go back and watch the whole thing,
that whole interview because where this cuts off.
Yes, I want to know.
Elon's pissed.
and I understand it being a person who has named their children a little differently
yeah maximilian like oh it's max a mess yeah maximilian like who names their kids maximilian
no one would name their kid god awful maximilian okay max a mess that's his first name and he has
two other middle names when my daughter has and then Maya who spells Maya like that
the world the world of fisher household
the world
See now you're pissing me off too
But
Anyway so they're in this interview
So he laughed at Joe had it was a funny line with the placeholder
But then he laughs when he says asha
Is he laughing at people's names
Anyway
And then A12
A12 is my contribution
Oh why A12
Archangel 12
The precursor to the SS 71
Coolest plane ever
He laughs again
I agree. Okay. So Elon backs up away from the mic and goes, true. Like, yeah, dude, that's what I name my kid, okay? I mean, really, it's fascinating.
So he's put it over it the other day. And look, I got it. It's a strange way to name your kid. You know, it's not Bill Musk. It's not, we call Michael Musk. It's okay. It's not, I named him Archie because I love the royals. No, it's none of that. No.
But I get it.
I get the wanting of to be able to be different.
You want your child to be recognizing them.
Yes.
Yes.
And so,
and I was really surprised that,
that Rogan,
which I don't think has any children.
No.
Let me double check,
but I don't think he does.
That he kind of laughs at that.
You know,
kind of funny.
Now,
if he would have built it up with,
did you do it as a joke,
or was it something that you really liked?
He does have children.
He does have, he has three children.
Okay, good.
His wife gave him two daughters in 2009 and another one in 2010.
And what are the names, Jill, Joy, Joe, Jr.
Oh, he has a stepdaughter, too.
So the stepdaughter name is Kayla.
That's not his kid.
He didn't name that kid.
No.
Is there an issue?
The internet connection down?
Am I?
No, no, no.
I got it.
I got it.
Okay.
Don't be this in my internet like you always.
By the way, we'll go back to that.
You dissing my internet all the time.
But like we said, Kayla Rose is the stepchild.
Then you got Lola Rogan.
Is it Kayla or Keisha?
Keisha.
I think it's Keaja.
Yeah, Kejja.
Kejia Rose.
I just thought that myself with a faster internet connection, by the way.
But I'm just saying that it looks like it's Keisha.
Kejia.
Kaia.
Yeah, it could be Keizha.
Now it's Keisha.
K-A-J-A-K-A-K-A-K-A-K-A-K-A.
I kind of like that.
I do like that.
Yes, I do like that.
Then you got Lola, Rogan.
I like that.
Lola.
It's like Lilo, but Lola.
And then...
I mean, I wouldn't be laughing at Elon's name.
I'll tell you that with Lola.
And what's the other one?
Rosie.
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
That took some doing.
huh it's named after my great aunt okay thanks Joe appreciate it all right I mean
they're fine I'm really I'm really curious don't be laughing at Elon yes I'll be I'm
curious to see why what happens after he laughs at the name because once once at the end
when Elon says true but he backs up like true yeah because I believe that he's also laughing at
really dude A-12 so you name you kid after an airplane
Like, who does that?
And that's a lot of judgment coming from Joe Rogan.
Like, okay, so is the pronunciation X-Ash 8-12?
Because I love it.
I'm in.
X-ash-A-12.
Who's a good little baby, X-ash-A-12?
Come here.
I love you.
X-ash-8-12.
Come here.
What's short?
Is there a short?
Is it just 12?
No, Ash.
It's going to be baby Ash.
X is the first letter.
Is it X?
Baby X, but then that kind of feels that it's like a non-gender baby.
Oh, well, maybe with the wife, though.
And by the way, I love.
Thank you.
Thank you for pointing that out.
We're not boyfriend and girlfriend.
We're not, you know, husband and wife.
We're not long term.
My partner.
So back off out there.
Don't be labeling me.
X-ash Archangel 12.
Who's a good little baby?
Come here.
X-As archangel 12?
I like it, actually.
The more I say it, I like it.
By the way, I want to do a...
Maximus, Maya, or Elvis, but...
We got to do a Jeff...
Well, not a Jeff.
A-TF prediction.
X-ash-A-12.
Is that going to be a new baby name?
Archangel
Is that going to be
A new baby name?
Are we going to see more
X-ash
812 babies out there?
Yes.
I think so.
I think this is going to be
like the new Archie
where Archie picked up
you know the
the name.
I think this is going to be
the new Archie.
Archibald.
Archibald.
There is some
some royal news too
as long as you bring it up
Archie
because you know
we had
selling his rifles, his big, I mean, they're $50,000 a piece rifles,
selling them because Megan doesn't like them.
I'm telling you, a year and a half, he's gone.
Or they need the money.
They need the cash.
And this is an easy way.
They go, this is the conversation with, okay, Megan, we know that you don't like rifles.
Let's not make this about us being poor.
So the statement that we're going to give the press is that you,
don't like, we need the money.
I got rid of them for you. We need the money.
But we just need the money. Yes.
I'm okay with that. I believe that's
that's the definite possibility.
And I thought they were living in
Elton John's
neighborhood in Los Angeles.
But I
saw a story this morning that talks about
how they're living in Beverly Hills
in Tyler Perry's house
in Beverly Hills. Now Tyler Perry
does not live in a dump.
I'll guarantee you that.
Just so you realize Tyler Perry's dump is an eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom villa that sits up atop the hill on top of Beverly Ridge Estates.
That's a pretty nice place to be hanging out.
Okay.
And they're talking about them going for walks.
It's 22 acres.
They don't have to leave to take a walk.
Okay?
You're not leaving the estate to take a walk.
So that's, I don't know what they say that happened that they've been staying there the whole time.
But I don't know about that because we've seen them walking in neighborhoods and stuff, right?
That was the Elton neighborhood.
And that was what maybe they said it was the Elton neighborhood because that's where his Beverly Hills house is, not the other dump.
Right?
We just mistook it for the other place.
Yep.
And by the way, if we want to go through the schematics of this, you know, it has eight bedrooms,
12 bathrooms
I said that already
You did
I said that already
Oh
Because I'm still stuck at the 12 bathrooms
They just
How many helps do they have
They don't have that much help
Because dad is flipping the bill
So do you really need
12 bathrooms
And I'm sorry
Yes
And I'm sorry
Why are we saving this couple
Why are we
responsible
for these couple.
They decided to no longer be a royal,
figure it out like the rest of America.
First, they said,
first they were eating out of the tit of Britain,
the London, the UK, right?
Then they said, no, we don't want that anymore.
Let's go to Africa.
No, we don't want to do that anymore.
Okay, let's go to Canada.
We'll stay in a mansion from our friend.
And you know what?
No, let's go to California.
and another friend will stay at his house.
Why?
He's not even a friend with them.
He's a friend with Oprah.
And Oprah's doing it because she's going to get first interview dibs with them.
And by the way, this also shows CTF is right about the godparents.
Because we forgot that Godfather, Elton John, I'm sorry, Sir Elton John, let them use the plane and let them use the house as well.
So we found who Godfather is.
I believe we just found who Godmother is.
Godmother is Oprah.
And now she's talking to Tyler Perry.
I'm sorry, Oprah.
Like I know you and Tyler are best friends,
but you should not be going.
You get a house.
You get a house.
You get a house.
You get a eight bedroom house.
You get a 12 bathroom house right on top of the hill.
Somebody is jealous.
Jealous.
I'm not saying who?
On the show?
No, I am pissed.
But someone is a little jealous.
Because we still treating them like royals.
Let them suffer.
You know what?
I'm sorry that you have to pay for your house.
Okay, and I'm sorry.
I apologize that you have to pay for that,
that shack that you live in in,
in Fort Worth, Texas.
I apologize that Oprah's not foot in the bill.
Didn't call up, you know,
didn't call him Tyler Perry to get in his,
get in his Dallas estate.
Wow, take it easy.
It'll be okay.
How many bathrooms you got?
I mean, you got a couple bathrooms.
What more do you need?
No wonder you're complaining about a house with 12 bathroom.
I mean, take it easy.
Take it easy.
So we've got to get to the coronavirus case numbers.
Worldwide, 352,162 total cases, 271,884.
deaths worldwide at the time of this recording for chewing the fat.
In the United States of America, we have 1,295,673 total cases.
77,092 total deaths at the time of this recording.
Let's go down to China and see if they've broken the magical 83,000 mark of total cases.
No, they have not, but they're getting closer because they have won.
new case already.
So they're at 82,886 total cases.
So they're getting close to that 83,000 mark,
but they're not quite there yet.
TSA checkpoint travel numbers.
Oh, yesterday, big day.
190,863 people through the turnstile.
So we're starting to pick them back up.
Now, let's not forget that 53 of those are still locked down
in Austin because they hit a guy on the runway.
So, you know, people out wandering around the runway.
And there was that little bit of an issue.
The FDA has approved a phase two trial of a coronavirus vaccine, this moderna.
So the company is hoping to start phase three this summer.
Okay.
Good.
Illinois governor says churches may not reopen for a year or more because of coronavirus.
Oh.
that's special
that's nice
I love the
I love we were talking about the TSA
this story's been in the fat pile
for a while now
and I'm not quite sure
I think it's that big of a deal
the headline is
the TSA ordered 1.3 million
N95 masks
even though airports are empty
and it doesn't need them
well
they're still open
people are still going
through the turnstiles
I know we've been giving you the numbers
and they're dramatically down
you know, I mean,
dramatically down.
So it feels like nobody is going through the turnstiles,
but there are humans going through the turnstile,
and they do need them.
I think that's okay.
I don't think I would call that hoarding.
I think that would actually be a bonus point for the TSA,
which they don't get many of, by the way.
So they have something extra in the closet that they're ready to do their jobs.
Good for them.
good for that.
I can't, I can't say bad, bad things about that particular thing.
You know, the 95 max.
Now, there's a whole bunch of stuff we can say bad things about the, you know, the TSA if you'd like.
De Blasio, New York City won't reopen fully until maybe September.
That's good to know.
And he's already told people, geez, man, we'd love to let you guys get together and protest and talk about stuff like that.
No, you can't do that.
So, I'm sure it's in the Constitution.
Sure.
Sure, you could, they tell you that you can get together like that in that Constitution thing,
but now we're in an emergency and human lives are at stake.
So there's no, there's no getting together.
Now, if you want to get together at one person at a time, that's fine.
For just a couple of minutes outside your building, you know, maybe that's
fine, but together as a group to protest stuff like me locking down things.
Nope, I can't do that.
That's not going to happen.
Yeah, can't do that.
More and more places are making you wear masks and show up things,
but we talked about how the shortage of,
condoms were happening, but there is a condom sales are down now.
And that's what happens.
You start getting stories about condoms, you know, running a shortage and now you've
hurt their sales.
But the good news is Michigan, the great state of Michigan, with the great
governor, whatever her name is, Whitmer, Whitmer, whatever, you know,
dictator.
I can't remember her last name.
It's Governor.
Hitler.
No.
No.
No.
No, it wasn't. Oh, sorry. Sorry, the W is not silent. It's Whitmer. Sorry. I thought the W. was silent. Yeah, no, no, no. Hitler. Oh, wow. You got to learn to pronounce names. I am so sorry.
So they are sending out special deliveries to a lockdown lovers. They're giving away free condoms to the people, which is actually probably pretty good since we got news. Where is that story? We got news. Why don't I have it in front of me right now? We got news that coronavirus.
is staying in semen.
So why?
Wow, there it is. Hold on.
I do.
Trust me.
I have that story where I can get to it.
Coronavirus found in men's semen.
They don't know how long it lives.
They don't know if it's still alive.
They just know that they found it in the sea.
So again, the story, the original story was it hangs tough in the male genitalia.
and then now it's hanging even tougher in the mail.
So, I mean, it's, and maybe that's why, maybe that's why the military said,
no, you know, once you catch it, you're done.
I don't know.
I really, I have no idea.
I want to double check before we close out, you know, the show because no one knows
this, but I have closed captions as we record the show.
So it's much easier for me to write notes.
for the show and my close class can say
sea man as in sailors
so okay all right
duh
I mean
hello and I'll leave you with
California and I'm sure this is a complete coincidence to what happened here
in Dallas with the salon owner
being jailed and then being set free
California has identified a source
of the coronavirus
community spread.
And they have now said,
the governor has come out and said,
in his statement,
in his statement,
we found out that the nail salons were the first community spread here.
And so I'm really worried about that.
And we've got a lot of red flags.
So there you have it.
Nail salons are the reason that coronavirus has spread throughout,
at least the state of cancer.
California.

No, no.
Why?
Why do they have to speak?
Why?
I don't want them to speak.
I want to like them.
We just got done, you know, I should have seen it coming.
We should have seen it coming.
So I just got done telling you that Christopher Maloney was coming back to Law and Order
year season 22.
They were bringing them back.
And they were bringing him back because he was supposed to come back this season, but because of the pandemic, he's not coming back, but they're still going to work him into the new season, whenever it starts again.
And they're bringing him back because he's going to be a spinoff new series about a special organized crime unit, which will be fun.
I mean, it should be good.
But I want to like it.
And I want to watch it without having to think about what he says in real life.
And now he's come out.
And of course he's out interviewing, right?
He's got to make the rounds.
He's got to promote his stuff because, you know, things are loosening up.
You never know when we're going to start filming again.
And he's got a, you know, he comments the DOJ authoritarian for dropping the Michael Flynn case.
He just goes, it's just, it's a, it's, we take another step closer to corrupt authoritarian rule.
Yes, we do.
Mr. Maloney.
Perhaps you should take a look around in New York.
You know the city that you spent so much time in and probably still live in,
and the city that you're going to be shooting television shows in.
Maybe you ought to look around there before you start casting aspersions on Washington, D.C.
I mean, please don't make it possible so that I can watch it.
Otherwise, I'm not going to be able to watch it.
I mean, this is going to drive me insane.
I mean, we heard from what's his face again, the other New Yorker that I just can't take.
He's such a douche.
De Niro?
Robert De Niro?
Yes, Robert De Niro.
We heard from him again.
I mean, I just can't.
I just can't.
And I'll be surprised now.
We didn't talk about it this morning on Pat, but I'll be surprised.
It's looking like Biden might not make it and not because of his health.
I mean, this is actually a good excuse for them to get rid of him without having to blame it on his health.
They could just blame it on what's happening with this sexual assault allegation and other sexual assault allegations.
But they can get rid of him and use that without having to blame it on,
Joe's lost his mind and he's not, he doesn't remember anything.
and we just send Grandpa Joe back to the ranch
and he could be by himself.
But, you know, who do they have?
And of course, you know, De Niro was yapping with,
he's yapping with the late night.
What's his face?
From the late show, Stephen Colbert.
He's talking to Stephen Colbert,
who is, you know, they're new and has been for a while,
though, you know, the go-to, we hate all things,
conservative guy.
So he's talking to Cobre, who is,
and in and of himself agonizing.
But De Niro's on there.
He's talking about, you know, Cuomo being the possible guy.
Great.
That'd be wonderful.
I want Cuomo to go up against Trump.
Any of these guys go up against Trump.
That'd be great.
As long as it's not Michelle Obama.
Okay.
I know it's Fat Pile Friday,
and we've got to get to a little bit of the Fat Pile.
So a couple things that you can take with you as for on Fat Pile Friday.
Twitch, the video game streaming site,
owned by Amazon,
is planning to launch original unscripted shows
akin to reality TV.
Yay!
So there's more programming,
more content coming to every streaming site in the world.
We heard Lyft, Airbnb, Uber,
have all announced layoffs.
They've seen at least a 70% drop in ride share business.
Wow.
I mean, request in cities worst hit by COVID-19.
The Airbnb struggling with reservations and cancellations have become widespread.
Uber just reported a $3 billion loss.
that is just you can quote me on this not good for Uber so there's that and one of the things
I was reading as I'm digging through things today and I thought wow that's really weird I'm
going to have to look into that more I want to hear from someone maybe you can email me at chewing
the fat at the blaze.com that a study found that gas stoves could make indoor air two to five
times dirtier than outdoor air.
So the problem is because they're in a third of the U.S. households, and they cook better
than electric stoves, by the way.
One analysis found children in those households have a 42% chance of getting asthma, a higher
chance of getting asthma.
The report said, switch to electric, which can release.
significantly fewer toxic gases.
And if you can't consider things like opening the windows,
cooking on the back burners, using an air purifier,
I mean, okay, you say so.
How about we just, I don't know,
just seems really weird because I like gas.
It's cheaper.
And I'm talking about cooking, you know, cooking gas.
not that type of gas
although
I'm not necessarily
not a fan of that gas
so I'll leave you with a happy little
story okay
